Tbilisi. On December 5th, Economic Policy Research Center (EPRC) Georgia and Regional Studies Center (RSC) Armenia held a joint discussion panel: Regional Divergence: The European Union and the Eurasian Union. At the same time, EPRC presented its new report Georgia and the Neighbors: FOCUS on Armenia - Eurasian Customs Union Crawling Closer to Georgia. The South Caucasus has once again re-emerged as an arena of competition, as Georgia has successfully signed its Association Agreement with the EU while Armenia has chosen to seek membership in the Russian-led Eurasian Union. In light of this new regional divergence, in its new report Economic Policy Research Center (EPRC) examines the implications for the region, with an added focus on the political economy dimension of the possible ramifications for bilateral Georgian-Armenian relations.
